Nathan Vogel, 21, was given credit for time served in custody so far, and will be on probation for three years.

The court ordered Vogel to forfeit ownership of the .40 caliber Beretta handgun used in McCluskey's murder. He must also pay $100 and complete a mental health evaluation and, if necessary, treatment program.

Now a convicted felon, Vogel will not be allowed to use or possess firearms in the future.

Originally, Lady lied about the gun purchase, which she did on Vogel's behalf because he was "generally discharged" from the Army. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Utah claims in court documents that she falsely told the arms dealer “yes” when asked whether she was the actual buyer of the gun. She feared “that he could not purchase a firearm without a delay,” the document states.

McCluskey's mother, Jill, released the following statement to 2News following the announcement of the charges against the pair:

"We applaud the U.S. Attorneys for pursuing charges against the individuals who lied and conspired to buy the gun that was used to kill our daughter. Still we note that the University of Utah housing staff were informed that our daughter’s killer said he planned to bring the gun to campus, and they did nothing. We hope for additional accountability of the individuals who did not protect Lauren."
